Public Advocate Said it Years Ago: "Thought police on patrol" says Krauthammer

Charles Krathammer, writes today his reaction to 110,000 signed petitons demanding
that the Post not publish his column on global warming:

"I was gratified by the show of intolerance because it perfectly illustrated my argument that the left is entering a new phase of ideological agitation - no longer trying to win the debate but stopping debate altogether, banishing from public discourse any and all opposition."........

And on the Mozilla Lynching

Then last week, another outbreak. The newest closing of the leftist mind is on gay marriage. Just as the science of global warming is settled, so, it seems, are the moral and philosophical merits of gay marriage.

To oppose it is nothing but bigotry, akin to racism. Opponents are to be similarly marginalized and shunned, destroyed personally and professionally.

Like the CEO of Mozilla who resigned under pressure just 10 days into his job when it was disclosed that six years earlier he had donated to California's Proposition 8, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman.........

.........The whole thing is so stupid as to be unworthy of exegesis. There is no logic. What's at play is sheer ideological prejudice - and the enforcement of the new totalitarian norm that declares, unilaterally, certain issues to be closed.

Closed to debate. Open only to intimidated acquiescence says Krathammer
